OUR VISION
We imagine a world that celebrates layered identities, challenges the ideology of white supremacy, and works toward a society grounded in liberation.
OUR MISSION
By drawing on the power of shared stories, we create room for diverse Mixed communities and advocate for social justice.
WHAT WE DO:
1) We build public awareness of the stories and storytellers shaping the Arts, Culture, Education, Media, and Politics of the Mixed experience.
2) We promote and help create arts and cultural programming together with national and international organizations (see our PARTNERS page).
WHAT WE MEAN BY ‘Mixed Roots’:
It means seeing yourself — or being seen by others — as ‘other’ in your society, particularly around race, culture, or ethnicity, and within relationships and families.
WHAT WE MEAN BY ‘STORY’:
A story can take countless forms. It is how you express yourself, and it is both personal and collective. Stories appear as art, dress, music, lyrics, poetry, film, spoken word, a play, politics, activism, oral history, and much more…how do you tell yours?
WHAT WE DO FOR YOU:
Have a film, website, art show, performance, or other event that speaks to the Mixed experience? Let us help you get the word out. We want to actively spotlight how you tell your story to the Mixed community and the wider world. Click ‘Promote Your Story‘ to share more about you and your work.
Planning an event for your school, organization, or group? Want to feature mixed “storytellers”? We maintain an active database of artists, filmmakers, authors, and performers and can help bring them to your next event. Email us at [email protected].
We’d love to hear from you!
